Star of the Magi: Reflections on a Silent Night

Journey with us as we unravel an ancient mystery and answer the questions: Who saw it?, When did it appear?, and What was it?
About this Event

Over 2000 years ago, a child was born in Bethlehem. And, with His birth, there were accounts of a mysterious "Star of Bethlehem." But what could it have been? Was it something miraculous and intangible or was it something that can actually be explained through science? Journey with us as we unravel an ancient mystery and answer the questions: Who saw it?, When did it appear?, and What was it? This multi-media presentation also includes a brief sky tour of the constellations of the Winter season.
